For one beautiful precious moment, there was silence in the swamp.
Then with a terrified shriek, Squirt burst out of the underbrush running as fast as his little white haunches could carry him, red eyes wide with fear. What precisely he was running from was evident a moment later when, with a crash, a green and red shape burst from the bushes after him.
"I'M GONNA GET YOU!" Juice cried, her voice full of mirth, white hooves pounding after her foxbun, clearly oblivious to his terror. She caught up to him quickly, closing the last length with a bound and pouncing on her beloved pet. Squirt squealed, helplessly caught in kimeti limbs as Berryjuice rolled to the ground, squealing herself from the fun of it all. When they were finally still, Juice panting sprawled on the ground, Squirt thanking the Motherfather he was still alive caught between her forelegs, she very deliberately nuzzled the top of his little fox-head with her snout, beaming.
"Tag! You're it!" At which Squirt flopped exhaustedly to the ground, paws over his head.
"Whaaaat?" Juice exclaimed, poking the foxbun with her muzzle, repeatedly when he still didn't move.
"Come on, you're no fun Squirt! Lets plaaaay!"
